"Portrait de l'Infante Catalina Micaela" is an oil painting by the Spanish Renaissance artist Alonso Sánchez Coello, believed to have been created in the late 16th century. The portrait depicts Catalina Micaela of Spain, also known as Catherine Michelle, who was the daughter of King Philip II of Spain and his first wife, Princess Elisabeth of Valois. As a member of the Spanish royal family, her portrayal by Coello, a court painter to Philip II, reflects the importance of visual representation in asserting dynastic prestige and power during the period.

The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the infanta's attire and accessories, which are characteristic of Spanish court fashion of the time. The luxurious fabrics, intricate embroidery, and lavish use of jewels not only signify her royal status but also serve as a testament to the wealth and influence of the Spanish Empire during its Golden Age. Coello's skillful rendering of textures and materials adds a tactile quality to the work, while his ability to capture the young infanta's poise and elegance speaks to his mastery of portraiture.

Catalina Micaela was not only a Spanish princess but also became the Duchess of Savoy through her marriage to Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy. This union was of significant political importance, strengthening ties between Spain and the Savoyard state. The portrait may have been commissioned to commemorate this alliance or as a means of conveying her likeness to the Savoyard court.

The painting is an exemplary piece of Habsburg portraiture, encapsulating the grandeur and formality of the Spanish court. It is preserved in a notable art collection, although the specific location may vary as the painting could be held in a museum or private collection. As with many works of art from this era, the exact date of creation is often uncertain, but it is generally attributed to the period when Coello served as a court painter, between the 1560s and his death in 1588.

"Portrait de l'Infante Catalina Micaela" remains a significant work for its artistic merit and historical value, offering insight into the cultural and political landscape of 16th-century Spain and the broader context of European aristocracy. It stands as a testament to Alonso Sánchez Coello's reputation as one of the leading portraitists of his time and his contribution to the Habsburg visual legacy.
